Trump Nominates Jay Clayton for Top Intel Role
President Donald Trump said Thursday he will nominate Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and a former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, to serve as director of national intelligence (DNI). Democrats and Republicans alike were displeased with Trump’s choice to name Bill Pulte, current head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting director of the office, which coordinates 18 intelligence agencies. “Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay,” Trump wrote.
